Sick Doe

DC- I am so sorry. My heart was beating fast as I read each one of your post. Then I cried when I read that she had passed. You and your wife are in my prayers as well as the rest of your deer. We do all we can to care for these beautiful creatures then mother nature comes along and, well, you know :(



God Bless -

Gail

DC,
 
DC,

In my opinion your doe had EHD or Blue Tongue. Sorry about the death. Are you spraying and was she vaccinated? Everyone has to realize if you are going to raise deer, you are going to lose some. Sometimes its tough. I guess I take it better than most. When Maximus D/T died it botherd me for a couple of hours but I felt lucky to have him live until he was six. Those dang knats cause us and free range deer all this heck and no government agency seems worried. CWD don't kill squat and they pull the curtains on everything. Good luck with the rest of your deer. Be sure to get her burried or burned. If she is available to the knats more of them carry the infection. I could write a book here but I better stop.
 
Thanks tim Burried,deep, any time you raise animals you gotta expect things, i was ready when i saw sick.i get it out mind real quick,spraying has comminced. all we can do is just do the best we can for them, Thanks Dc
 
Tim, This is a different strain than what was in the vaccine, I guess. We had two dead in one day, both vaccinated, but no spraying was done yet. After 2005, we kinda got numb to it, but still sucks. The one last night was too late for spleen, but if another , I will try to get samples for test on new strain we have now.
 
dc be careful with draxin one dose every seven days. dex every other day. drop to 2cc on banamin after first day very hard on liver and kidneys. dex lowers there immune system if not much swelling I would not use it. Just my thoughts Bill K
 
Thanks Bill,sure glad you posted info we all got lot to learn bout this, BT, Ehd. and what to do, i was on stress level yesterday,I wish this on nobody! with the choking and purple blue tongue im sure mine was BT. Dc
